Arrest of a U.S. Citizen
The Department of State is committed to ensuring fair and humane treatment for U.S. citizens imprisoned overseas. We stand ready to assist incarcerated citizens and their families within the limits of our authority and in accordance with international, domestic, and foreign law.
Avoid getting arrested overseas by:
Following the laws and regulations of the country you are visiting or living in.
Learning about laws there which might be different from the laws in the United States. We provide some information for each country on our Country Specific pages. For further information on laws within the foreign country before you go, contact that country’s nearest embassy or consulate within the United States.
If you are arrested overseas or know a U.S. citizen who is:
Ask the prison authorities to notify the U.S. embassy or consulate.
You may also wish to reach out to the closest U.S. embassy or consulate to let us know of arrest. Contact information for U.S. Embassies and Consulates overseas can be found here or by going to our individual Country Specific Information pages.
Consular Assistance to U.S. Prisoners:
When a U.S. citizen is arrested overseas, he or she may be initially confused and disoriented. It can be more difficult because the prisoner is in unfamiliar surroundings, and may not know the local language, customs, or legal system.
We can help:
Provide a list of local attorneys who speak English.
Contact family, friends, or employers of the detained U.S. citizen with their written permission.
Visit the detained U.S. citizen regularly and provide reading materials and vitamin supplements, where appropriate.
Help ensure that prison officials are providing appropriate medical care for you.
Inform the detainee of local and U.S.-based resources to assist victims of crime that may be available to them.
If they would like, ensuring that prison officials are permitting visits with a member of the clergy of the religion of your choice.
Establish an OCS Trust so friends and family can transfer funds to imprisoned U.S. citizens, when permissible under prison regulations.
We cannot:
Get U.S. citizens out of jail overseas
State to a court that anyone is guilty or innocent
Provide legal advice or represent U.S. citizens in court overseas
Serve as official interpreters or translators
Pay legal, medical, or other fees for U.S. citizens overseas
Tänk att ASAP Rocky kan få både läsmaterial och vitamintillskott av Ambassaden.

Local Laws & Special Circumstances
Criminal Penalties: You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned.
Furthermore, some laws are also prosecutable in the U.S., regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on crimes against minors abroad and the Department of Justice website.
Arrest Notification: If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Embassy immediately. See our webpage for further information.
There is no provision for bail in Sweden, and U.S. citizens who are arrested may be held in custody until the trial is concluded.
Tydligen gäller svensk lag i Sverige även Amerikaner som vistas i landet och om man bryter mot lagen kan man bli häktad. Det går inte att betala borgen för att slippa sitta i häkte heller om vi ska tro US Embassys hemsida.
